Dealing with complexity is an inefficient and unnecessary waste of time, attention and mental energy. There is never any justification for things being complex when they could be simple.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The complexity of things - the things within things - just seems to be endless. I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple.
And so from that, I've always been fascinated with the idea that complexity can come out of such simplicity.
People are complex. I'm just showing my complexity.
I think complexity is mostly sort of crummy stuff that is there because it's too expensive to change the interface.
Simplicity is a key to avoiding complication. Part of the definition of simplicity is 'not complex or complicated; sincere.'
That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
I'm interested in complexity, in the mathematical sense, as well as the idiomatic sense. The idea of emergence - that it's possible for complex patterns to arise out of many simple interactions - is fascinating.
I never go straight to the point if I can go the most difficult way. Why be simple when you can be complicated?
Complexity is one of the great problems in environmental design.
The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity.
